Your amount of unwillingness to learn and understand is disturbing. Lowest-common-denominator dumbing-down is not how we advance our craft. There are many others who can understand it, perhaps you should ask yourself why you can't.

If you think this is unreadable, then you are not qualified to read it --- yet. I implore you to try; maybe it will actually be enlightening.

Nice, now we are getting personal! Interesting, how much you know about me from just a comment. And still you miss the simplest of points, which there are: meaningful variable names, meaningful procedure names, explaining comments.

Perhaps it is not as much that "I can't" because of incapability or stupidity, but simply, that I wont, because of the lack of care given to creating something meeting minimal standards for modern software development and best practices.

modern software development and best practices

Yes, that's all too familiar to me. The dogmatic cargo-culting buzzword-bingo "religion" whose only claim to fame is in effectively producing gargantuan Enterprise Quality™ software --- I mean solutions --- which everyone inevitably hates because they are ridiculously bloated and overengineered to the point that the simplest things take an absurd amount of time and energy, and also have abysmal UX too...

"best practices are best not practiced."
